We are seeking statements of support from Exeter’s community groups and organisations for our goal of Exeter being a genuine place of welcome and safety for refugees and asylum seekers. Can you actively support us in helping to create a culture of welcome for those seeking refuge in Exeter? If you think you can then please sign our resolution of support below.

We are asking supporting organisations to decide on a practical action they can take to make their activities more inclusive and welcoming of people seeking sanctuary. There might be many ways that this can be put into practice within your own organisation, and we are available to work with you in considering possibilities. All pledges of action, big and small, are very welcome and can help make a real difference to people’s lives. We have found however that the most effective and sustainable pledges are those which utilise the organisation’s skills and expertise. Some ideas and examples of how your organisation could help can be found here
